Lumineers, The - Morning Song Lyrics






The carbonation in my drink
The bubbles rise while my heart sinks
And all I tend to do is think of you

Was it easier to pack your bags
And book that flight to Paris as
The plane began to move that afternoon

When all the trains have pulled away
From local stations in decay
It's I who waits, it's you who's late again

And did you think of me when you made love
To him, was it the same as us
Or was it different, it must have been

And all the pretty dames
They'll hug and kiss you all the same
And when they go, they're gone
They're not running late
Oh all, all the pretty dames

And the kids that you hold in your arms
With promises to protect them from harm
But they grow, and they go
And you're all alone
All the kids, all the kids that you hold

And it's a shame that it ends this way
With nothing left to say
So just sit on your hands, while I walk away
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
When my hands begin to shake
When bitterness is all I taste
And my car won't stop
Cause I cut the brakes
I hold on to a hope in my fate

Oh oh ah ah hey hey
May you return to love one day
Well I hope and I pray
You get what you gave
Oh oh ah ah hey hey

  43. M.... ....

    My ex wife had an affair with one of my best friends. I love this song.. Ironically enough it was the last album we bought before she officially left. But that damn line "Did you think of me, when you made love to him, was it the same as us?" Always pisses me off.

    M.... ....

    This song is like a cure, sorry for what happened to both of you, that girls must be dumb to leave that way

    M.... ....

    Yeah same here... And that line has always killed me... a couple years later I can finally enjoy the song without going nuts

    M.... ....

    Everything in this song is just perfect.

    I hold on to the hope in my fate.

  46. m.... s....

    I have this record on vinyl and it's my favorite. This song is heartbreaking masterpiece. I've listened to it a thousand times but today it made me start crying in the car. I couldn't stop crying. Wish I could rewind time. I miss you.

    m.... s....

    marie s Ugh I feel this so deeply

  47. D.... D....

    J.... M....

    Julie McCabe 👍🏻

    J.... M....

    you're too good looking to be a full-fledged member of the 'drink yourself to oblivion' club. we cut it off at 7s.

  70. T.... ....

    May you return to love one day
    Well I hope and I pray
    You get what you gave :/

  71. D.... J....

    Amazing how you don't feel the song till you go through some shit.

    D.... J....

    I agree becuz I bought the album after hearing "classy girls' and quite got into this song until 2 days ago, I just lost a good friend to a tragedy and my supposed girl just left. Needless to say Im no longer sweating the girl leaving when she thought I was down,but song struck home. Really on all accords,so I feel ya

    D.... J....

    Def. I used not ta b real into "gale" till my ex broke up with me

    D.... J....

    for sure

    D.... J....

    its amazing how you can hear a song in a whole new way after you've been through hell

    D.... J....

    @Ade Adedapo Gale song is my fav

  72. F.... G....

    Sounds like Ryan Adams.

  73. E.... L....

    Love this tune!!! Love u guys lol

  74. w.... ....

    august 31 is my birthday :0

  75. R.... S....

    actually he does but "Home" and another song off the album were written by others

  76. A.... A....

    Its weird how the lumineers are folk music bu in this song you can hear some electrical guitar as if it were meant to sound like classic rock.

  77. m.... ....

    Phillip Phillips does not write his own songs, Home was co-written by Drew Pearson and Greg Holden

  78. S.... T....

    Why have I not bought this album yet..

  79. g.... ....

    every. song. is. amazing. its so satisfying to find something like that

  80. B.... G....

    i love you for post this song and for your avatar!!

  81. G.... D....

    ehhhhhhhhhhhh agree alot,

  82. m.... ....

    I agree with fuzzyblankey!!!!!!!!

  83. m.... ....

    This song breaks my heart to pieces. If you read the lyrics, it's incredibly heart wrenching.

    m.... ....

    midnightwriter he’s pretty clear about what he says too it’s not I’m listening to Migos

  84. J.... E....

    Just reminds me of Plath initially... damn you English. Good song though :)

  85. F.... ....

    I think what people are failing to understand that another era in music has already appeared, The Lumineers are simply another piece to the puzzle. There has been a huge influx of bands that perform music in the same or similar genre to the Lumineers, but many of them aren't recognized for it. The Lumineers were lucky enough to get media coverage, and grow to what they are now, and i encourage to keep going, and perhaps inspire the ones who are trying to make it big, get there too.

  86. s.... ....

    Past love

  87. L.... B....

    Lol! Nice one!!! :-P :D

  88. C.... B....

    Damn... The disappointment when believing he sings "All the pretty Danes", and then finding out he sings "Dames"....

    C.... B....

    Just all those really attractive people from Denmark

  89. M.... ....

    Lil B brought me here.

  90. m.... ....

    Oh I know. But he did write the rest of them!

  91. M.... ....

    What is this song about?

  92. b.... ....

    As much as I like Phillip Phillips, his first hit, the one he released on the American Idol finale and the one that has been replayed in a dozen commercials was actually written by someone else. The song, "Home" was written by Greg Holden before American Idol scooped it up for PP(legally of course). But just saying, he didn't write that, he didn't even make up the arrangement.

  93. L.... D....

    I can write however I want. Don't be one of those stupid idiots who pick a fight on YouTube over dumb things. It makes you look stupid.

  94. M.... ....

    Dont write with caps every first letter of the words. It looks stupid.

  95. s.... o....

    proud to be a dane!

  96. j.... f....

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  97. T.... ....

    seriously, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do everybody have to be like this?
